The investigation continues, but so far there's nothing to indicate it was anything other than driver inattention that caused a fatal crash on Ohio 37.

The crash was reported at 4:02 a.m Tuesday after a head-on collision between a semi and a sport utility vehicle. Aubrey Woods, 28, of Pataskala, was pronounced dead at the scene. She was driving a Cadillac Escalade northwest on Ohio 37, toward Johnstown, when it appears her vehicle went left of center and struck a semi traveling the opposite direction, said Licking County Sheriff's Office Capt. Chris Slayman.
